The National Chairman of African Democratic Congress, Chief Ralphs Nwosu has told the National Assembly to declare the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki as the president of Nigeria with immediate effect.
Chief Nwosu stated this in a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Yemi Kolapo on Monday.
He said the action becomes necessary considering recent happenings, especially the alleged ridiculing of the constitution by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The party posited that the President’s actions indicated that “he could no long continue to rule the nation.”
He said blunders against Nigeria’s fledgling democracy indicated that “the president and his vice, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, were no longer capable of staying in office.”
Accirding to him, “the Presidency had no right to remove or suspend the head of the Judiciary arm of government without due process.”
He added that “the president has committed a grave offence against the nation.”
Nwosu also pointed out that it would be less reckless for the legislature to take over power from this government without necessarily going through any impeachment procedure.
“The National Assembly should declare the Senate president, Dr. Bukola Saraki, president,” Nwosu said
